Eleven Times Trump Kowtowed To Project 2025
Former President Donald Trump denies ties to the extremist government blueprint known as Project 2025, a policy road map for a second Trump administration drafted by a consortium of conservative groups led by The Heritage Foundation. But new data shows he had a lot of love for the group’s far-right policies during his first turn in the White House.
Analysis by the American Bridge 21st Century super PAC found 87 policies adopted by Trump at the suggestion of The Heritage Foundation. In 2018, the conservative think tank announced that Trump had already embraced and implemented 64% of its suggestions.
“President Trump is a conservative president. He’s adopted many of these recommendations and pushed them forward and accomplished many of them,” Heritage Foundation director Thomas Binion told Fox Business in 2018. “Yes, they’re conservative and yes, they’re good for the country,” he added.
